Each year over 98,000 deaths and 71 wrong-site operations occur due to medical errors in hospitals. It's important to arm yourself with as much information as possible to keep you, your family and friends safe while in the hospital.

This film will answer those questions and give you a step-by-step guide to help you maintain your health, safety and privacy while in the hospital. Make sure you watch this with your family and friends. You'll need them as your advocates 24 hours a day.
